Four risks. Four responses.
One verified methodology.
Auriga's capabilities are organized around the decisions companies actually face in international trade — not around a service catalogue. Each one addresses a specific risk with a defined methodology and a documented outcome.
Supplier Intelligence™
"I need to know whether my supplier is reliable before I commit capital."
Most counterparty failures are predictable. The risk was present before the payment was made — it simply wasn't investigated. Supplier Intelligence™ closes that gap. Five dimensions of verified counterparty intelligence, delivered in a single Trust Score™.
Five Dimensions of Verification
- Legal existence and registration. Does the company legally exist and operate where it claims to?
- Operational capacity. Does the supplier have the infrastructure and workforce to fulfill the order?
- Financial health. Estimated financial stability and capacity to sustain the commercial relationship.
- Market reputation. Track record with other buyers, documented disputes, cancellations or complaints.
- Export compliance. Certifications, regulatory records and trade compliance in relevant markets.
What is physically verified
- Product and specification conformity. What was ordered versus what was produced.
- Quantity and packaging. Physical count, weight, labeling and export-ready packaging.
- Quality standards. Compliance with the agreed technical or regulatory standards for the destination market.
- Production facility conditions. Observed production environment and identified risks before release.
- Photographic and documentary evidence. Full inspection record submitted with the Inspection Report™.
Inspection™
"I need physical visibility at origin before the shipment is released."
Once a container leaves the origin port, most disputes become unrecoverable. The product is in transit, payment has often been made, and options are limited. Auriga's Inspection™ capability places a specialized technical inspector physically at the factory or warehouse before release — while you still have leverage.
Sourcing Intelligence™
"I need to identify and qualify manufacturers in markets where I have no direct presence."
Finding a supplier on a B2B directory is not sourcing intelligence. It is a list. Auriga's Sourcing Intelligence™ identifies, evaluates and qualifies manufacturers through direct market research — not platforms, not aggregators. The result is a shortlist of verified candidates, not a curated database entry.
The sourcing process
- Technical specification definition. Auriga maps exactly what is needed before beginning the search.
- Direct market research. Identification of active manufacturers in the target market through primary sources.
- Initial qualification. Each candidate is evaluated against the client's minimum criteria before being included.
- Trust Score™ per candidate. Full Supplier Intelligence™ protocol applied to each shortlisted manufacturer.
- Decision-ready brief. Final deliverable structured for the decision, not the process.
What representation covers
- Ongoing supplier relationship management. Auriga maintains the supplier relationship on behalf of the client.
- Production monitoring. Real-time visibility into production progress, delays and deviations.
- Local negotiation support. Presence in the supplier's market during price, timeline or scope negotiations.
- Issue escalation and resolution. When a problem arises, Auriga is already present and can act immediately.
- Coverage Report™ delivered on each cycle with documented status and verified observations.
International Representation™
"I need someone protecting my interests in a market where I cannot be physically present."
A supplier without oversight performs differently from a supplier being monitored. This is not a matter of trust — it is a structural reality of distance in international trade. Auriga's International Representation™ capability maintains physical presence in origin markets on the client's behalf across repeated cycles.
Every capability runs on The Auriga Method™.
Regardless of which capability is engaged, every Auriga engagement follows the same five-gate protocol. The methodology does not vary with the client or the market.
